Under Burely I am sure the payers used to run form the ground to playford road on the first day back. Do i recall correctly and was this a tradition before and after Burely? |  | | |  |

The pre season run is probably past it's sell by date these days, players have to keep to a strict schedule over the summer to make sure they are fit and firing, the days of Alan Brazil bowling up 3 stone overweight with a half eaten kebab down his top and cirrhosis of the liver are long gone. |  |

That and think of the insurance if they got clipped by a passing motor!
Norwood late for training, possibly. |  |

Rings a bell. I think it was quite a thing for numerous clubs to have a run around town or on the beach. Saw all the Col U squad running around the barracks once when I was driving past.
Old school. |  |

I thought it was or should have been more of a PR stunt than having much fitness value | | | |

Those days need to be over. We have a whole squad of whom nobody knows the way to the training ground. They'd set off on Monday morning and never be seen again. |  |

Keane did similar with a military-style bootcamp, didn't he? Bet that was a barrel of laughs for the lads. | |

this just shows Voicey was right all along and Burley ruined this club |  |

I think they used to run from the ground down to somewhere like the Royal Hospital School or Orwell Park |  |

If I was made to do that, I'd be demanding the Royal Hospital School still has all the medical devices needed! | |

Yeah, that worked well!
I'm all for it personally, it keeps things a bit fresh. Not a bad way to integrate new players or existing players and create a connection to the to town they're representing. I would have them doing laps of Christchurch Park or head tennis on Felixstowe beach, followed by a swim.
Not something I've ever done at a football club, although I have vivid memories of University football training, being taken on hilly road runs around Durham in Baltic conditions.

Should do it again for sure. A run around town. Give locals a chance to cheer or pillory, delete as appropriate. Proper connection between clubs and towns innit. |  |

Didn't it cause a rash of injuries and serve as the first straw on the camel's back for a lot of the players regarding how they responded to Famous Roy? [Post edited 28 Jun 2021 15:04]

certainly a regular thing under Burley, I think it might have been a thing under Robson too though I dont know if that was more just a thing the senior pros did to begin with some of the coaches, than a this is something you must do as I think it became with Burley. | | | |

They used to spend a week training at one or the other as a change of scene but I don't think they ran there. | | | |

If I remember correctly didn’t Jon Walters beat Keane at every thing the Marines had laid on, and said if he ever quit football, he could join them.
That, I reckon was where the Keane/Walters feud started. 🙌 |  |

That's hilarious if true. Also entirely predictable from Keane. | |

They used to run up London Road hill (or crane hill pending your age) from the ground and do a lap of chantry park.
Definitely done that more than once under Burley. | | | |

I was at Orwell Park for a few years and don't remember any of them training there so probably RHS. Was in the same year as Fabian Wilnis' daughter funnily enough. |  |
